Ethiopian Food

They sure like using their spices! After snowboarding yesterday, we went out and had Ethiopian food in Seattle. Heather, just recently back from Guam, was able to come over this weekend (she lives on one of the islands nearby - I forget which one - so it's not very easy for her to get together with us). The food was really good. Spicy but really good. One of the dishes made everyone go 'ohmygod that's spicy' so I, of course, completely avoided it. It wasn't as good as the Iraqi food I had in Hull, but it was good. They also had FRESH mango fruit juice - yummy! Dinner was fun because it was family style; the dishes are on platters and everyone digs in with their fingers. The bread was different. It was unlike any bread I've ever known. It's unlevened but the texture is more along the lines of a pancake and it tasted sour like sourdough. Very different.
